The local charges pressed by Willis are the fourth criminal case against the 45th president so far this year. Trump also faces local charges in New York, for allegedly paying hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign, as well as two federal cases led by special counsel Jack Smith. The first involves allegations of unlawful retention of classified documents after he left the White House, while the second has to do with the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol.The local charges pressed by Willis are the fourth criminal case against the 45th president so far this year.
